XTREME
NSYNC

by
Billy Burrew

Last Time on XTREME NSYNC....

"Bill?", Lance asked worriedly as he walked over and touched Bill's shoulder,
"What's the matter?" Lance gasped and froze as he touched Bill's shoulder.

JC walked over to the other side of Nick and quickly pushed into Nick's mind
as well, gasping at the what he saw in Nick's mind. "...How and when are you gonna do this?" Lou
asked curiously.

Marshall smiled maliciously, "Oh...I am gonna bring them down from the inside...you
see...I have someone there who's all ready to betray them to me, and is just
waiting for the appropriate time."

"Oh...and Marshall...", Lou said as he turned around, his
eyes glowing with an amber color, "Don't fuck this one up...I won't be nearly
as forgiving as I was last time. Now pick your new team and get this taken
care of."

Chapter 16 Begins Now....

(The Astral Plane Inside Nick's Mind)

"Nick! Stop this right now.", Bill yelled
out angrily as Nick slowly lowered the rope that bound him by his wrists into
the pool of molten lava that Nick had created in his mind.

"Fat chance asshole.", Nick snarled and let
the rope slide further down, "You should have never fucked with me....or
taken Lance from me."

Bill shook his head, "Nick...listen to yourself.
You sound like a B movie stalker villain. Look man...Lance doesn't want anything
to do with you, he's told you as much. So just stop pursuing him. Find someone
else...move on...spank your monkey..."

Nick's eyes blazed red as he snarled and let go of
the rope, dropping Bill into the pool. Nick's eyes widened as Bill's fall
stopped just an inch above the pool. Nick spun around as he felt the presence
of JC and Lance's minds behind him. Nick saw that JC had his hands up, using
his mental abilities to halt Bill's fall. Nick then stepped back as he saw
Lance's eyes turn a blazing green.

"THAT IS IT!", Lance shouted and pulled back
and smashed Nick in the face. The sound of Nick's nose breaking resounded
loudly in the mental plane that Nick had created. Nick fell backwards clutching
his face in agony.

"L...Lance...please....I still wanna try to...",
Nick pleaded.

"No! HELL NO!", Lance yelled, "Don't
you get it? I don't want you. I am not some damn prize to be won or fought
over. I make my own choices about who to love...I CHOOSE! NOT YOU!"

Nick pulled his hands away from his face and hung his
head, beginning to cry.

JC watched as Bill looked down at his bonds, his eyes
glowing a vibrant red. A second later, the rope began to decay and fall away.
Bill set his astral body down by the edge of the molten pool and he smiled
and waved his hands and instantly the pool disappeared. Bill walked over behind
Nick and motioned for Lance and JC to move in beside him. Nick looked up as
the three men grabbed him into a tight embrace, Bill's powers laying bare
Nick's bruised ego and psyche as Lance and JC healed all the wounds Bill uncovered.
Nick began to cry as he hugged the three men.

"I am so sorry. I am just so alone. Since we broke
up Lance, I've been all alone.", Nick cried.

Lance softened as he looked from Bill to Nick then
he began to frown, "Nick. I wanted us to be friends. I wanted us to part
on friendly terms so that if you needed me like you did, you could have called
me."

Nick sobbed and Bill looked over as JC waved goodbye
and disappeared from the astral plane.

(The Physical Plane)

JC's arm pulled free and he gasped as his eyes popped
wide open and his body fell backwards.

"JC!", Kevin and Brian yelled as Kevin dived
and caught the falling youth.

"What happened?", Brian asked as Kevin layed
JC across the bed.

"Nick had captured Bill's mind and held him hostage.
He was trying to kill him. I kept him from killing Bill until Lance could
knock some sense into him.", JC exclaimed.

"What are they doing now?", Brian asked,
his brow knotted with worry for his friend.

"They're working out their issues. I think we
need to give them some time and space. C'mon...let's go over to my room.",
JC explained as he got up off the bed and headed towards the door.

The guys filed out of the room, with Brian exiting
last as he walked over and put his hand on Nick's face.

"Come back to me Frack.", Brian said quietly
then he turned and left the room.

(The Astral Plane Inside Nick's Mind)

"Nick", Bill said as he turned the younger
man's head with his hand so that their eyes would meet, "Let me open
up your mind to your powers, OK?"

Nick nodded and then gasped as the scene around them
changed as Bill cleaned up Nick's mind and proceeded to pull down the barriers
that surrounded Nick's powers. A second later, Nick's astral body almost glowed
with his newfound knowledge and power.

"Come join us on the physical plane Nick...then
we can all talk.", Lance said and then his astral form disappeared. Nick
looked at Bill as he nodded to Nick to follow him and then he too winked out
of Nick's mind. Nick looked around and smiled then let himself fall back into
the physical plane of existence.

Nick opened his eyes and blinked a few times as his
eyes focused on the two men in front of him.

"Hey guys...", Nick said quietly, "...thanks!
Thanks for talking me down in there."

"No problem Nick. I didn't think that you had
gotten closure with me...I hope we're clear now.", Lance said quietly
as he sat down between the two men.

Nick nodded slowly.

"So what is your ability Nick?", Lance inquired
with a sly smile.

Nick grinned, "I can mimic others powers. If I
touch you, I make a copy of your powers and can use them for about an hour
or so...or until I make a copy of another power."

Bill smiled, "OK....lets see it then."

Nick grinned and stood up, moving a few paces away
from the bed, then turning to face it. Nick raised his hand up and using his
copy of Bill's powers, telekinetically picked up and threw the young man across
the room, slamming him violently face first into the wall. A second later,
Bill's unconscious body slowly peeled itself off the wall and landed on the
floor with a sickening thud. Lance turned pale and scrambled to get up, hysterically
yelling out the name of his lover as he rushed across the room towards him.
At the sound of Lance's scream, the door to the room crashed open and Kevin
and the rest of the guys rushed into the room.

"Nick!", Kevin bellowed out as looked at
Bill's prone form, then rushed towards his young blond bandmate to stop him
from doing any further damage. As he approached Nick, Kevin's body changed
to his new organic metal form, "What the hell did you do to Bill, Nick"

Nick's eyes widened as Kevin barreled towards him.
Just as Kevin was about to reach him, Nick extended both his hands and froze
Kevin in mid-stride The guys gasped as Nick then shook his head and walked
quickly over to Lance, who was bending down to try and heal his lover. Lance
looked up, his eyes glowing the color of fire jade.

"Don't come any closer to him or I'll kill you
myself...I swear to God!", Lance hissed.

Nick stepped towards Lance and raised his hand, freezing
Lance in much the same way he had frozen Kevin. Lance gasped as his body refused
to obey his will. Nick smiled and leaned over and kissed Lance deeply on the
lips.

Lance moaned and fell backwards as Nick's freeze power
wore off. As soon as their lips met, Nick absorbed Lance's healing powers
and lost Bill's telekinetic powers. Nick quickly leaned down and used his
newfound powers with a mastery that defied conception, instantly healing the
injuries that Bill had attained by his hand.

A second later Bill sat up and groaned as he rubbed
his face. "Nice power Nick. I'll tell you
this for sure tho, if you ever try a stupid stunt like that again...I'll hold
you down and turn it back off myself."

Marshall smiled as he looked over the group of nine
"talents" that he had selected from the list of promising recruits.
Marshall had selected those with the most "active" abilities. Their
powers were diverse and would be more than a match for the ones that NSYNC
had demonstrated in the tapes that Marshall had appropriated from the airport.
He would have them beat...this time, there would be no mistake. He was so
sure of the abilities of his team that he had cast himself as not only the
leader of the group, but also as the tenth member of the team.

Marshall's team was training against another group
of ten strong talents and had begun to coalesce as a team as Marshall rallied
them to his cause. Seconds later, Marshall's team executed his battleplan
perfectly, entrapping and neutralizing the opposing team.

'No', Marshall thought to himself with a smile, 'They'll
be no match for us this time.'
